fN preparing these questions on Geography, the de- 
sign has been to inchide only those subjects that 
are essential. It is a common and perhaps well- 
founded belief that too much time is given to the- 
subject of Geography in our common schools ; partic- 
ularly on many points of little importance, that are 
forgotten almost as soon as learned. It is believed 
that this little book contains all the questions necessary 
for general reviews, and as a preparation for the Re- 
gents' Examinations. 

The questions can be used with any one of the 
Geographies recently published. In this third edition 
the order has been improved, a few questions changed, 
and a few added.
